What customers say
The Laredo Sconce earns high praise primarily for its sophisticated design and luxurious material quality. Customers frequently describe this fixture as stunning and substantial, viewing it as a significant architectural element. The heavy weight confirms its premium nature, justifying the investment for those seeking a long-term design piece. The natural stone, often alabaster, is a major highlight, consistently praised for casting a warm, diffused glow that elevates room ambiance. While universally lauded for quality, some minor friction exists regarding the inherent variability of the natural stone, meaning received pieces may differ slightly from online images. Additionally, the substantial weight can complicate installation, sometimes requiring professional help. Overall, the consensus is that this showstopper delivers exceptional aesthetic value, blending modern elegance with organic texture.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Laredo Sconce is damp-rated, making it suitable for bathrooms or other spaces with moisture, provided it is not placed in an area subject to direct water contact.
Because the Laredo Sconce is crafted from natural lava stone, each piece features unique variations in texture and finish. You should expect slight differences in the stone's appearance, which adds to the organic character of the fixture.
The sconce uses a single E12 candelabra base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40 watts. Please note that the fixture is not dimmable.
The Laredo Sconce is designed for hardwired installation only. We recommend professional installation to ensure it is securely mounted to your wall.
The fixture has an extension of approximately 7.99 inches from the wall, making it a substantial piece that provides a strong visual presence.
The opal glass is designed to provide soft, ambient light rather than task lighting. It is best used as an accent piece to create a warm, diffused glow in hallways, living areas, or bedrooms.
